The reaction of enyne 1 with a 1:1 mixture of [LAuCl] and AgSbF 6 in CD 2 Cl 2 at −20 °C gave the gold complex 2 in 97 % yield (NMR spectroscopy). Warming a solution of 2 at 25 °C led to 1,3‐H migration ( t 1/2 ≈16 min) to form the gold complex 3 with 96 % selectivity. 13 C NMR analysis of 2 and 3 showed predominant metallacyclopropane character of the goldbicyclo[3.2.0]heptene bond.
